Foreign Policy on the Zwakazi Continent

Berlinsavis

As the Nista Federation's rise as a world power has continued, foreign policy on the Zwakazi continent has shifted dramatically. Currently, debates over whether the territory could become a state, or whether the military could begin larger operations in the territory have been raised. The Berlinsavis Stabilization and Unification Bill in 2014 would have given billions of dollars in federal funding to the island, to develop its infrastructure, as well as set up numerous government operations there including those of the military. The bill did not pass, however continued attempts to develop the island for strategic purposes have continued. The current Mild RePublican Party stance is that of developing the infrastructure, not basing military there, and possibly accepting it as a state if it so wishes, and that military bases should not be increased in neighboring nations. The Fundamentalist Party believes funding should be reduced, as it believes existing infrastructure is already sufficient, however military should be based there, much as it is in the Kade Islands. The Environmentalist Party believes in higher spending on infrastructure, healthcare, and education, and believes military presence should not be increased, and military should be stationed more in Xevenia and the Iridium Coast.

Nista Federation

Trade tariffs have been a minor option in dealing with the rise of the Nista Federation as a world power, and the trade imbalance that currently exists. Other debated options include expanded military presence, and the increase in foreign investing in Xevenia, to compete with Nista.

Allies and Enemy Nations

All four major parties currently support increasing ties with Xevenia, the Iridium Coast, and New Sketherlands. The Fundamentalist, Environmentalist, and Freelance parties do not support increasing ties with the Zwakazi Alliance, while the Mild RePublican Party does. Parts of the Mild RePublican party and Fundamentalist party have supported past plans for military stationing in Carkhia, and public declarations against the Fourth Laborer Socialist Republic. Details about the so-called 2017 Quentinian Propaganda Coup arose in 2019, and are limited, however some parts of the Mild RePublican and Fundamentalist parties have expressed interest and support for the partially classified QUID plan.
